"Ted, did we ever share that with you?" So I'm sitting in camp with my wife and friends that I believed, up to this point, to be rational and intelligent people. And they are all excited and gushing about the UFO's they are seeing. I try logic and they completely blow it off. I don't know what...

Our experiences with All Terrain Campers have all been similar to yours. They are the best.

I liked the idea of Harvest Hosts. Spoke with them but was unable to join. They require the rigs to be self contained. We do carry a porta-potti, but they define self contained as having gray and black water tanks. Not familiar with the others.

If all goes according to plan, I should be retiring right about then. Could be my first long trip. Pencil me in!

A new camper is always good. But the reason for it sounds interesting. Any more info on that?

Yup, ours does that too. Turns off, turns back on for 5 or 10 seconds, turns off, etc until it finally stays off. It can be annoying if I'm in the camper and hear it. Otherwise, I have just kind of accepted it as the nature of the beast.

Not destinations in themselves, but here are a couple of easy overnighter campgrounds on 395 in Norcal. Laufman between Reno and Susanville. https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/plumas/recarea/?recid=11203 Plum Valley a little below the CA/OR border. http://www.camping-usa.com/campdetails/32138/

Thanks for posting Craig. We thought about joining the group but it was just too far to go in a weekend. I knew the Ski3pins were in the neighborhood, so good to see they were able to join you.

Funny, the computer was off and yet something told me to check WTW.Yo and behold, a topic with "beer" in the title. I definitely prefer the west coast style Double IPA's - IBU's around 100 and Alc. usually above 8. That said, they are, as a group, a bitter, acquired taste. Pliny, for reasons...

Define gourmet. I seem to recall you cooking large amounts of bacon for a group once. That's pretty hard to top.

Susan and Andy, Congratulations to you both. And the rings are very nice, they remind me of crowns.

Even Evergreen Road will be crowded but we have stayed there and gone into Yosemite Valley for a day trip.Once enough people enter the park they start to hold people at the entrances, so try to leave camp before 7:00 am. Still, enough will be allowed in that gridlock in the valley is normal...

Whorehouse Meadow From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Whorehouse Meadow[1] is a meadow located on the western slope of Steens Mountain southeast of Frenchglen, Oregon, United States. It earned its name in the days of the Old West. Entrepreneuring women from Vale, Oregon, would set up wood...

Great trip and a very cool trip report. My Dad passed seven years ago. This trip will become even more special to you in the future. Good for you for making it happen.

Based on the table above, I'm going to predict June 15 for an opening date. Shall we start a pool?

Frank, so far we really like the camera. The only issue we have had so far is the screen kept blacking out on Donna. but when I would use the camera it didn't happen. We finally realized what was happening. The camera automatically switches between the view finder and the view screen by sensing...

Oh, you know, we just for a walk down by the American River. Just kidding. Still sorting through over 2000 photos from a trip to The Galapagos Islands. Truly one of the most amazing places in the world.

Thanks Steve. I might actually start contributing to this section more often now. We bought the Nikon P900. One negative with it is that it does not shoot RAW. But we still do not have any photo editing software, so that really wasn't an issue for us.

I have been thinking about upgrading my DSLR, but Mrs. Ted's Point and Shoot was having issues so got priority. We replaced it before a recent trip with a highly rated Nikon that has lots of optical zoom. Below is an unedited JPG of a male Frigate bird. Below that is a highly cropped photo of...

I like this. Makes it seem even closer. Let's see (seven times fifty two, carry the one), only 364 more Mondays for me! Hmmmm, somehow that doesn't make it feel closer for me. Oh well, Good for The Lady.

Hi Patrick. Actually, we have been discussing that very location for a near future trip.
